Possibly, as more and more Wall Street analyzers are saying, depression. How can you possibly stop this freight train?

Actually I saw a posting in Resolved Questions from several months ago where Mitt Romney asked what changes in the tax code would be good. It appeared to be official and Yahoo!Answers put a disclaimer on the question saying it wasn't endorsing the candidate. He got about 1,200 responses. So it's not impossible you could get an answer from a candidate...Unfortunately it was Resolved before I could add my 2 cents, though. Important issue...

If you're a grandma in the USA you might remember when it was possible to buy 5 gallons of gasoline for ONE dollar. {1950's}
When the USA went off the Gold standard in 1971 current Presidential candidate Ron Paul decided to get into politics to try to do something about the depreciating value of the dollar.
He did manage to sponsor and pass legislation that allowed all Americans to own Gold again. {Gold ownership had been outlawed by Roosevelt in 1933.}
Ron Paul is the only Presidential candidate that understands money matters well enough to stop or slow down an impending depression. He wants the USA to return to "SOUND" money, as mandated in the U.S. Constitution.
Please look up his views on sound money:

A recession requires 6 months of Negative Growth Data. We don't have that... and I think thats some ludicrous speculation.
As for Depression only the people who are nutty on Gold Investing talk about that

Obama & Hillary would increase deficit spending in order to aggresively push the US from a weak recession into a strong depression.

I'm sorry, I just don't think Hillary, Obama, Romney bother signing in to Yahoo Answers. But that's just me though.

The republicans will propose more tax cuts for the rich. The democrats will increase public work projects like building more bridges, roads and fix our national parks. Neither will really help but at least with the dems we will have something tangible to show for it.

The candidates are not on Yahoo Answers. If want answers, call their campaign offices.

It is being done now by the current administration. Cuts in rates to spur growth.
